It'd be interesting to stage a drag race between this and Bo11ox's Dodge.  In theory they should be quite evenly matched.

Where do people get this does not need a MoT nonsense from? A difficult one for the vendor because such a clear but wrong statement could result in all kinds of problems for the vendor.

You hear it equally of fire engines and recovery vehicles - again both wrong unless you are an actual Fire Brigade or running a full time recovery business?

Intergalactic broken V70 just down the road from my. no doubt a whole heap of bother, but I am strangely drawn to it

 

I very nearly bought one of these before but the seller was such an utter twonk I pulled out of the sale much to his disgust. Had tried contacting him several times previously to no avail and ended up getting something else. 

Shame as in truth it was ideal for what I wanted and half the mileage of that one. 

Seller tried the old one been offered more than the price and the buyer is on his way type nonsense.... 

 

Went unsold for weeks on end but the love was lost then.

With recovery vehicles, it doesn't necessarily have to be a business, but the truck does need to be used solely for recovering broken down vehicles, and the exemption is only valid for spec lift trucks, not flatbeds.

Diesel BASE estate. £1.2k though!

That looks a nice one and isn't bad value for a car that won't need too much doing to it for a while, assuming belts are recent/clutch is OK. 

Grand would be better but a lot of miles left in that.

Come off it man the Perkins Phaser would waz all over this, I reckon the Horsebo11ox would easily do a sub-2 minute 1/4 mile

I was searching gumtree for V6 Citroens.  A 6 litre and all-wheel drive C2 wasn’t expected!

Would make for a memorable drive home from Ulster...

In the 90s it seemed like Max Power was full of twin engined cars, seems to have died a death lately so nice to see someone is still keeping the faith.

That is a ridiculously horrendous MOT history. "whole of vehicle is corroded" is my new favourite advisory. The tester just couldn't be bothered to itemise when presented with that level of grot

Looked at the mot history then at the crusty rear discs. Probably has a fake mot.

Aside from the fact that (as usual) it's still registered as a 1.1, afaik it's not legal to drive a twin engine car on public roads, unless they connect to a common transmission or somesuch.

Really, what law covers that?

Serious question. As noted above there were one or two magazine feature cars with twin engines.

The Volvo XC90 that is currently for sale would be illegal if that's true:

"Volvo's Twin Engine combines an internal combustion engine that drives the front wheels with an electric motor that drives the rear wheels."

"Depending on the driver-selected drive mode and available electric energy, the two drive systems can be used either individually or in parallel."

It's a difficult question as well as a serious one. If you want to try and wade through the Construction and Use Regulations 2017, be my guest. Prepare lots of coffee, and take lots of notes...

The condensed version is, any vehicle like this will have to pass SVA to be legally used on the road. The V5 will have to reflect this. With this done, you can then get valid insurance.

The vehicle shown is registered as a 1.1 and therefore has not been through the SVA process, and cannot be legally driven on public roads, as apart from anything else the insurance wouldn't be valid.

Yes, proving the regs are indeed complex. I imagine the type approval regime that Ford/Volvo had to go through to get this rubber stamped is somewhat more rigorous than an SVA inspection.

If your XC90 goes all skynet and kills you/third parties then Ford/Volvo will ultimately be liable, if it's a system failure.

If your home-made and unapproved Franken-Citroen decides that one engine needs to be in first gear and the other in reverse, ripping the car in half and killing/injuring/embarrassing you/third parties, you'll be the one residing at Her Majesty's pleasure. Assuming you survive.

None of what you have said backs up your point that a twin engined vehicle driving different axles is illegal and/or against C&U Regs? All you've said is read the regs...

If you're going to make a statement as fact, you have to back it up. Otherwise it's pure speculation.
